Thame Town will look to bounce back at Harefield on Saturday after a “silly penalty” cost them top spot in Home Counties Premier League Division 2 West.
Sam Lachlan’s second-placed side received a 14-run penalty for running on the pitch in their two-wicket defeat to Slough.
Thame were penalised five runs for two separate offences and also docked a total of four runs they scored at the time.
Vice-captain Michael Higgs admitted: “It was a silly penalty to concede and one we are going to have to learn from.
“We could probably have at least drawn the game without it.”
Seamer Will Rooney returns after finishing his exams at school and Ed Barnett drops out.
Higgs added: “Harefield are a new team, so it would be nice to get a win over there.”
